If passed, the original bill would have given New College much-needed dorms and other facilities on the nearby USF Sarasota-Manatee campus. NCF is seeking to grow its enrollment amid a multiyear overhaul driven by Gov.

"Turns out, Steve's brother...Tony, also went to the same college as I did, and in a similar department," X writes.
